Good example, and I can see the same thing happening in GP.

But those districts have advantages not shared by the Pointes. They both went to open enrollment to maintain numbers. The Pointes will never do that [[I don't think).

Also, those districts, while good, never had outstanding performance and don't fund their schools like the Pointes. They're generally surrounded by higher or equal performing districts so can go open enrollment. It's different if you're neighboring Bloomfield Hills and Novi as opposed to Detroit and Harper Woods.
